Chapter 2906 You should thank her
Qin Ruolan was completely stunned.
Even though she had thought about it many times and even made many efforts for this result, ever since Si Nanyan appeared, she no longer dared to expect this result.
Especially when he knew that Si Nanyan had given birth to a son, who was still in swaddling clothes when Zhu Feng canonized him as King of Han.
She didn't even dare to think about it.
Zhu Feng actually wanted to enthrone Zhu Chengxuan as the crown prince!
Qin Ruolan sat there blankly, staring at Zhu Feng's calm, unchanged face through the candlelight. After an unknown amount of time, she finally came to her senses, supported herself with the edge of the table with trembling hands, and then slowly knelt down again.
"emperor……"
She was trembling so badly that her voice was fragmented: "Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty..."
Zhu Feng looked down at her.
Said: "You shouldn't thank me."
“…”
"He has made considerable progress over the years, and the Empress, childless, has recognized him as her legitimate son. Regardless of the rules of appointing the most virtuous or the eldest son, I should confer the title on him."
“…”
"The person you should really thank is Nan Yan."
“…”
"She worked so hard for Cheng Xuan's position as the crown prince that even if she didn't work hard at all, she did what even his biological mother couldn't do."
“…”
"If you have gratitude in your heart, you should thank her."
Hearing this, Qin Ruolan frowned slightly.
Having said that, Zhu Feng also stood up.
Like Qin Ruolan, when he stood up, he also held the edge of the table with his hands, as if he needed such support to stand up. Moreover, even after standing up, his tall body still shook slightly.
The shadow cast down also shook violently.
Just like his mood at this moment.
He looked down at the extremely frail Qin Ruolan, who was kneeling on the ground, and said slowly with some heaviness and difficulty, "So, do you know what to do?"
Qin Ruolan's heart sank suddenly.
There seemed to be a loud thunder explosion above my head.

At the same time, Nan Yan, who was sitting in Jingyixuan, had no idea what was happening in the other side of the harem, in a corner that she had almost forgotten.
She just looked at Ling Shansi in front of her coldly and said, "It's a pity that being too clever may lead to mistakes."
“…”
"You did all these things to make us think that Yao Ying was someone planted in the palace by Ge Yunli, and that she was the one who had contact with Pang Hu. You killed this person to conceal your true identity."
“…”
"Of course, you haven't forgotten to silence the witness, even though Liu'er has gone crazy."
“…”
"But you forgot that at a time like this, a normal pawn in the harem should remain calm and as far away from it as possible, just like you."
“…”
"But, in order to draw our attention to Yao Ying, you kept making her a focal point. You deliberately asked her to write a eulogy for the Imperial Noble Consort together, and then dropped it in the banquet hall, pretending to be unaware, so that the Emperor could see it. This way, the Emperor and I would suspect that Ge Yunli had planted someone in the palace to seek favor."
“…”
"Yao Ying also had her own selfish motives. After being in the palace for so long, she hadn't even had the chance to speak to the Emperor. She never expected that a eulogy you dropped would draw the Emperor's attention to her. Naturally, she was delighted and went along with it."
“…”
"After all, the emperor's favor is something that can only be obtained by chance in the harem."
“…”
"But, as I just said, the more she shows up at this time, the less likely she is to be a pawn planted in the harem. Therefore, I don't doubt her."
“…”
"Since you don't doubt her, you naturally have to doubt others."
Ling Shansi gritted his teeth and said, "So, you started to doubt me?"
Nan Yan said, "Pang Hu died in Jingyixuan, and there were only two of you living in Jingyixuan. Besides her, who else is left?"
Ling Shansi looked annoyed.
Nan Yan said, "But, you two are both in Jingyixuan, and I can't have someone watching you all day long. If anything goes wrong, you can still blame her. So, the emperor appoints Yao Ying as Lipin and asks her to move out of Jingyixuan and live in Chonghua Palace."
“…”
"She had the opportunity to be noticed by the Emperor because of the eulogy you left behind. With this hurdle in her heart, it's natural that she wouldn't invite you to go with her."
“…”
"In this way, you will be left alone in Jingyixuan, in this place where no one will notice you."
“…”
"Whatever you want to do next, you will be much braver."
After hearing these words, Ling Shansi turned around and looked at the battered little Li Zi. He smiled bitterly and said, "I put so much effort into planning so many things to clear myself of suspicion, but it turns out that it only made you more suspicious of me and further clear Yao Ying of suspicion."
“…”
"I, I really am—"
Having said that, she clenched her fist and pounded the ground with regret.
Nan Yan looked at her coldly and said, "Indeed, you did put in a lot of effort, but it's a pity that all this effort was in vain."
“…”
"Because from the very beginning, I never doubted Yao Ying. Your actions don't make us more suspicious of you, but make me start to pay attention to you."
“……!”
Ling Shansi was shocked.
She looked up at her in astonishment: "How is that possible? How could you not doubt Yao Ying at all?"
Nan Yan smiled and said, "You and she were selected to enter the palace together. Why was she able to be canonized?"
"because……"
Ling Shan thought for a moment and said, "Because she has inquired about many palace rules and even bribed palace servants to help her find out some palace taboos, including your likes and dislikes."
"good."
“…”
"In fact, I believe you knew these things before entering the palace. Naturally, it was Ge Yunli who told you."
“…”
"However, you didn't show it too obviously. Instead, after seeing how diligently she delved into her studies, you deliberately hid behind her, taking what she knew as your own, and what she gained as your own. Therefore, it seemed only natural that the two of you were canonized as nobles."
“…”
"But, as I said, a hidden chess piece planted in the palace will not expose itself too much until it is absolutely certain."
“…”
"Yao Ying's actions are a major taboo in the dark chess game."
“…”
"But it's what a normal person who enters the palace and wants to be favored should do."
“…”
"So, I didn't doubt her from the beginning, not because of what you did, but because of what she did."
“…”
"In the final analysis, you chose the wrong scapegoat!"
